Kavalan LÁN Single Malt Whisky is an elegant Taiwanese single malt whisky, created as a tribute to the home of the Kavalan Distillery in Yilan, Taiwan. The name has a double meaning: on the one hand, ‘LÁN’ refers to Yilan; on the other, the Chinese word ‘LÁN’ means orchid, thus alluding to Taiwan’s special connection with orchid cultivation. The single malt is produced by the internationally renowned Kavalan Distillery, which has developed a distinctive style by maturing its whiskies in Taiwan’s subtropical climate. Kavalan LÁN, with an alcohol content of 43 per cent, combines floral elegance with a complex cask composition and is bottled in a 0.7-litre bottle.

The Kavalan LÁN Single Malt Whisky 43% combines different types of casks. Bourbon casks contribute fresh vanilla notes in particular, whilst port casks add nutty and fruity accents. In addition, STR wine casks provide caramel-like and fruity sweetness. STR stands for ‘Shaved, Toasted and Re-charred’ and refers to specially treated wine casks whose wood, through this process, exerts an intense influence on the maturation. The interplay of these three cask types characterises a Kavalan Whisky matured in bourbon, port and STR wine casks, which combines floral and fruity notes with creamy sweetness, nutty notes and subtle woody spice.
